Parts of the Earth assignment

  1. Nickel and Iron
  2. Crust
  3. Inner and Outer crust
  4. Plate tectonics
  5. Lithosphere which is formed from the rocky outer part of the the upper mantle and the crust.
  6. Divergent Boundary
  7. Boundary between the Pacific plates and the Australian plate and crossing New Zealand.
  8. Regions where portions of the earth's tectonic plates are diving beneath other plates, into the earth's interior and deep oceanic trenches, lines of volcanoes parallel to the trenches, and zones of large earthquakes that extendfrom the trenches landward.
  9. The oceanic crust because it is thin and hot at the mid-ocean ridges where plates are pulling apart from each other.
  10. A rift is form When two continental plates diverge. This rift is a dropped zone where the plates are pulling apart. As the crust widens and thins, valleys form in and around the area, as do volcanoes, which may become increasingly active.

What's in a Mineral?

1.Occur naturally.
Be inorganic.
Be a solid.
Have an orderly internal structure with a definite pattern.
Have a definite chemical composition.

2. Hardness

Life Cycle of Copper/BS4


1.- amount of useful are at the site.
- percent of metal in the ore.
- type of mining and processing needed to extract the metal from its ore.
- distance of the mine from metal refining facility and market.
- metal's supply-verse-demand status.

2. Copper ores:
- sulfides such as chalcocite, Cu2S
- oxides such as cuprite, Cu2O
- carbonates such as malachite, Cu2Co3(OH)2
Reduction
-with copper metal(molten) then, molding casting, etc.
Uses:
- Electrical 60%
- Nonelectrical 40%
Recycled Copper:
-Supplies 21% of U.S. copper needs.
Finally:
-Shattered throughout county: much remains in fairly permanent use, some discarded.


Building Skills


  1. Electrical: 60% of total use; motors, generators, power, distribution, communication, equipment, house wiring. Nonelectrical: 40% of total use; plumbing, roofing, coins, jewelry, pots, and pans, shell, casing, food preparation machinery, auto radiators.
  2. A. the U.S. copper needs about 21% of supplies and it wouldn't change much, because with all the supplies falling short by 100,000lbs globally and the high demand for mined copper is high. B. Yes, because prevailing pieces of copper, nickel and zinc have caused the production costs of pennies and nickels to significantly exceed more.
  3. A. Bronze, brass, etc. in useful alloy formed. Reddish, shiny in color and luster. High in malleability and ductility. And it also a nonelectrical. B. Its a electrical.

Questions
1.a) Physical.(-2) - this was a chemical change
b) the color of the copper was dark silver and some was reddish. the odor was strong.
2.a)The color change to a dark silver and the odor was strong. the copper size got small.
b)No, because as it was heating, some of the copper atoms got in the air and when you
put it on the balance, the mass drop .05g because we started off at 1.03g and end it with .98g.
3. a) The mass of the crucible went up .05g. because we started off with a gram of 12 and after the
heating we have a gram of 12.05.
b) I think the mass change, because of the heat from the burner. How, like some object you
burn, the mass can stay the same because the heat isn't affecting it, so much but some object
can change when you're burn because the heat is affecting it and making the object's mass, high than
what it was or lower than what it was. But the result of our lab should of increase, but it decrease. I'm not
should how, but i think it may cause by when i took the crucible off the burner and on to the balance
and may cause it or by the crystal structure has close packed planes and so that phase is more dense and
it cause a decrease. (Mass should not have decreased unless it fell out of the crucible.)

B.3 Metal Reactivity

Questions

  1. Describe what happens to the penny when it is placed in the sliver nitrate solution.
  2. Describe how ions in solution play a role in chemical reactivity
  3. Explain, in detail, why this is happening,
  4. Define Oxidation.
  5. Define Reduction.
  6. Explain what happens to the copper atoms during the redox reaction.
  7. Explain what happens to the silver ions during the redox reaction.
  8. What ultimately controls chemical reactivity?

Answers


  1. The reflective coin surface immediately turns dark. with time, shiny crystals form on the surface and the solution turns a light blue. underneath the crystals the rough coin surface shows that some copper metal has dissolved.
  2. ions are tend to leave or gain from another part of the surface.
  3. at the surface silver ions gain one electron each to become silver atoms. since they are now neutral, they stay on the surface. ifs there is now less electron cloud into metal structure, one copper(II) ion pulled out by some water molecules. One copper(II) ion leaves for every two silver atoms that form on the surface. the silver atoms tend to build up on parts of the copper surface, and the copper(II) ion tend to leave from another part of the surface.
  4. reduction is ion gaining one electron from one of the atoms.
  5. oxidation is atom leaving two electrons in metal structure, forming a ion.
  6. reaction copper metal transferred electrons to silver ions producing silver atoms and copper ions for every two electrons last by a copper atom, two silver atom, two silver ions gain one electron each. Redox: Cu+2Ag+ = Cu(2+) + 2Ag
  7. silver ions, Ag+, can pull electrons away from copper atoms, Cu. From this you can deduce that Cu(2+) ions cannot pull electrons away from silver atoms.
  8. transfer of electrons.

  6. a. Silver would be a better choice because there wasn't a reaction to any of the solutions. Silver is also in other coins and they cant melted off, if it's being left in your pocket. b. it would create a confusion for the other coins since the American's are use to seeing a orange color penny.
  7. a. Zinc b. Copper
  8. a.Yes b. MgNO3 and ZnNO3 can be the ones that we can get rid of. During the experiment, there was almost one to no reaction to any of the metals when it was being tested.


Activity Series of Metals Assignment (Oxidation/Reduction Part I)

  • Describe what happens to the size of the Magnesium atoms as they change into Magnesium ions. Do the same for Zinc. Describe what happens when Zn2+(aq) reaction with Mg(s). Describe what happens when Mg2+(aq) reacts with Zn(s).
  • Describe what is happening for each reaction. Identify if the reaction occurred or if there was No Reaction.
  • Identify what happens during each of the prediction spaces.Answer the question at the bottom of the page.Continue to page 4.
  • List the elements in order, from top to bottom (most reactive to least reactive), for the Activity Series of Metals.

Answers

  • Magnesium atoms change into Magnesium ions, the electron cloud shrinks, around them and disappear. When the space inside get small, the atoms gets smaller. Zinc atom change into a Zinc ion,space inside got small, the atoms gets smaller. Zn2+(aq) react with Mg, the ions then it becomes a Zn atom. When Mg2+(aq) reacts with Zn(s), there was no reaction occurred.
  • Cu2+ and Cu, Cu2+ ions reacted with Magnesium and made Cu atoms.
    Cu2+ and Zinc, Cu2+ ions reacted with zinc and made Cu atoms.
    Mg2+ and Cu, there was no reaction occurred.
    Zn2+ and Cu, there was no reaction occurred.
  • I think they will react, except magnesium and zinc.The reaction with Silver ions and Zinc metal, their reactivity will be stronger than the Copper Zinc reactivity.
  • 1. Magnesium 2. Zinc 3. Copper 4. Silver


ChemQuandry 1


The gold, silver, and copper, are few that appear as native metals. Some of them, have combined with other elements.
They all are largely non-reactive metals that exist in their state, in the nature.

1a.from left to right, they go from most reactive to least reactive.
1b. the far left side.
1c. the far right side.
2a. yes
2b. no
2c. because 2a the Fe and lead(II)nitrate,Pb(NO3)2 are more reactive and it wasnt in the same block in the metal activity series. 2b the Pt are in the same block in the metal activity series.
3a. no.
3b. apply and demand.

Modeling model


1a. Zn: -> Zn(2+) + 2e-
1b. Ag+: -> Ag(1+) + 1e-
2. reduction is gain of one or more electrons
oxidation is loss of one or more electrons
Oxidation: Zn: (zinc metal) -> Zn(2+) (zinc(II) ion) + 2e-
Ag+: (Silver ion/Silver metal) -> Ag(1+) ( Silver ion) + 1e-
Reduction:
Zn <- Zn(2+) + 2e-
(Zinc metal / Copper(II) ion)
Ag: <- Ag(1+) + 1e-
(Silver metal / silver ion)
3a. Cu
3b. Ag+
4. because there are two lost electrons and the Ag+ needed them to replace them.
